[Bug 1056231] Re: Lenses which don't provide any content should say so before the user searches

 

** Description changed:

  There are lenses (e.g.: Social Lens and Photo Lens) that on a first
  install don't provide any content, even after a search is performed. The
  user should be aware that performing a search is vain so that no effort
  is wasted. The user should also be educated on how to add content to the
  lens, especially if depends on something which requires manual actions.
  In the case of the Social Lens, for instance, the user should be
  informed that to populate the lens it is necessary to have at least a
  compatible Online Account enabled.
+ 
+ 
+ ---------------------------------
+ Desired solution:
+ 
+ - Both the Photo and Gwibber Lens should not appear in the Dash bottom
+ nav bar unless they have content to display.
+ 
+ - Note in this case discovery of the Gwibber Lens will be handled by
+ 'Ubuntu Online Accounts'.  After a user has enabled their first social
+ network using Online Accounts the Gwibber Lens should appear.
+ 
+ - Note in the case of the Photo Lens, this Lens should only appear when
+ there are either local images stored on the computer that are accessible
+ by this lens, or when the user has enabled their first online photo
+ service using the 'Ubuntu Online Accounts' service.
